# Background
Starting with the 3rd generation (?), iPods came equipped with the ability to design custom alarms. These are specified through ".tone" files.
A tone file is a text file, with the first line consisting of the header (usually just the tone name), followed by several lines of text, each line having 2 integers, separated by a space.
The first integer represents a frequency (in Hertz) and the second integer represents the duration (in milliseconds).
Here's an example of a tone file:
```
Beep
540 200
676 400
540 200
676 400
540 200
676 400
540 200
676 400
```
In this example alarm tone, a 540 Hz sound will be emitted for 200 milliseconds, followed immediately by a 676 Hz sound by 400 milliseconds, and so on, until the end of the file is reached.
The sounds are emitted by the iPod's [piezoelectric speaker](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piezoelectric_speaker). The specific frequency range is unknown.
# Code
This directory contains some utilities for working with tone files. There is a Rust CLI utility, a Rust GUI, and a simple shell script.
## GUI
Run the `ipod_tone_player_gui` binary.
You can edit tone files in real time, then either play them directly to your headphones/speakers, or save it to a WAV file.
## CLI
The CLI binary is called `ipod_tone_player_cli`. It lets you basically do the same thing the GUI does.
(1) play the sounds encoded in a Tone file to your actual speakers/headphones
(2) save the sounds encoded in a Tone file, to a WAV file
To play the sounds from your speakers/headphones, do:
```bash
./ipod_tone_player --sound
```
To save the sounds to a WAV file, do:
```bash
./ipod_tone_player --file
```
## Shell script
The script `mobo_tone_player.sh` can be used to play tone files on your computer directly, using your motherboard's own piezo speaker (not your actual speakers/headphones!):
Simply run:
```bash
./mobo_tone_player.sh
```
and you should hear the tone file being played.
